The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Whole Grains- Just take a look at Uncle Sam's flakes and you will see the whole wheat berry. Our traditional method of rolling the wheat berry preserves its natural fiber, nutritional value, shape and flavor, making it a true whole grain.

Why Whole Grains?

Whole grains are complex carbohydrates. A single serving provides 8 grams of dietary fiber- Uncle Sam is an excellent source of fiber. So much good comes from fiber- it keeps the over 30 feet of your digestive system functioning well, helps lower cholesterol, and helps maintain the right levels of blood sugar, important in weight management or weight loss, and helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Fiber gives you energy to last throughout your day. As if that isn't enough, vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant-rich whole grains help reduce the risk of cancer and the effects of aging.

Whole flaxseeds, our source of Omega-3 fatty acids- We add whole flaxseeds because they are one of the best sources of plant Omega-3 fatty acids and help prevent cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders. We add the whole seed, not flaxseed powder, because you get its maximum benefit and freshness from grinding it with your own teeth.

Low Sodium- Uncle Sam has only 120 mg of sodium per serving, about the amount in a cup of milk- a small portion of the 2,300 mg per day maximum recommended in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.

Since 1908, Uncle Sam has been recommended by physicians, dieticians, nutritionists, fitness experts and other health professionals and also friend to friend because of its healthy, nutritional profile.
